What can I say other than this is the most breath-taking place on Earth! When you are standing at the top of the bowl at th top of Rainier Express, REX, you feel like u are on top of the world! The only complaint I have is that they are extremely over priced an they keep raising it every year! 50 bucks is plenty, 60 and higher is just robbing us!

Crystal Mountain is one of the greatest places you can skii in the NW. It is a great mountain with lots of room and powder. However, the economy has made their prices for lift tickets go up and food prices are ridiculous. Apart from that its a great place to be and has a cozy cabin to rest in at lunch. It may not have a terrain park, but it is the best place to just ski that i know in the NW area apart from whistler.

Bad day to take off for Crystal. For the lack of crowds, lifts or runs not open, crappy conditions, the Management could have discounted the normal lift pass. Was not worth the money we paid. ANOTHER ski resort offered 1/2 price return tickets when conditions were this bad. Crystal should have done the same. And the female Bartender up stairs was down right CRANKY. No smile, no personality, unattentive and for the lack of crowds, was not forthcoming in any type of conversation, good or bad. She should have stayed home. Hopefully our single $1 tip maybe told her the story we hope.

A huge difference than two weeks ago when powder was waist deep, which was great and all but returned yesterday (Feb 12 ) and was fantastic. Groomed for the most part and ungroomed areas were very nice. Arriving there at 9 am the sun was already out and stayed out til around 2. Felt like Spring skiing.ALL runs were open, lifts were open, no crowds, very cool. Only one exception that after the sun was out for a while, and runs had been tracked by skiers and snowboarders, it was starting to get crunchy, chunky and icy. By 2:30-3:00 storm clouds rolled in , got dark, and snowing started around 2:00 giving all the runs a VERY nice top base of fresh powder. Great Way to end the day...

My first time skiing in the state of WA since moving from CA and Crystal was the first resort to visit. Originally only going for one day, Jan 29th, after meeting a buddy to share expenses for the day off Craigslist and ended up being a 3 day trip......the powder, conditions, and no lines at the lifts made it unbelievable. Got alot of runs in, great place to meet people, and overall a GREAT time. From Bellevue, it was just over an hour to get there and only 1/2 tank of gas there and back.....very close.....Supreme Staff.........going to make it a weekly trek on each Tuesday..
